I just got a proliant 5500 server with a smart array 3200 controller managing 9 18.2 ultra2 scsiâ s. It is configured as a raid 5 with 6 scsiâ s active, 1 as a hot swap, and 2 as a cold swap. There is no OS installed on the server yet. I want to reconfigure the array so that there are 7 active scsiâ s, 1 hot swap, and 1 cold swap. When I go into the smart array bios I am prompted to insert a diskette labeled â Drive array configurationâ into drive a:. I did not get any cdâ s or diskettes with the server and have surfed HPâ s support site for hours looking for a drive array configuration diskette to no avail. Could someone please point me in the right direction?

p.s. this is the first time I have worked with raid hardware so idiot instructi

Hello,You need to obtain a Smart Start CD 5.50 version which can be obtained by calling 1-800-573-1099. Since you would be doing a fresh install I would suggest running system erase and choose the assisted method installation after you obtain a Smart Start CD 5.50 or earlier.

You surely can do a basic installation of your hardware by downloading System configuration Utility (SP19619) from our website. Here is the link:
